Sylhet Metropolitan Police (SMP) has announced new traffic management measures on the Dhaka–Sylhet highway to reduce congestion and public suffering caused by ongoing repair and construction work between Humayun Rashid Chattar and Chandipul. The special traffic instructions will take effect from June 12, according to a public notice issued on Wednesday.

Under the new system, all Dhaka-bound vehicles from Sylhet will use a one-way route from Humayun Rashid Chattar to Chandipul to ensure smoother traffic flow. Vehicles entering Sylhet from Dhaka and southern regions will turn left at Chandipul to use Bangabir Road and then proceed to their respective bus terminals in Kadamtali. The arrangement aims to ease vehicle pressure and maintain normal traffic speed during the construction period.

The notice also prohibits illegal structures and parking on key points including Humayun Rashid Chattar, Chandipul, Babna Point, the southern side of Keane Bridge, and near Kadamtali bus terminal. Authorities warned that legal action will be taken against violators and urged all citizens, transport owners, and drivers to comply with the new directives for public interest.
